Ornamental pears are banned from planting in most city and park situations because of the results described. If it is a tree you want to "watch" grow we want a tree with somewhat excellerated growth, and resistant to the wind damage that may or may not be common in your yard. A few of my choices would be a new cultivar of sycamore that is both disease (anthracnose), and drought tolerant. I ve planted a few of them and they have put on alot of size in 2 years, and are quite strong wooded (handsome tree). Some others to consider are , a new cultivar of sugar maple (as you are south as I am for this tree), the newest A. Elm cultivar on the market (fast growth, low wind damage risk), Autumn blaze maple, silver, red maple cultivar with stronger wood than silver but that growth rate and gorgeous fall red to orange color.

Just a few that immediately come to mind as superior trees, quick growth and some wind damage resistance.
